My "Geometric Cube" Sculpture was on Display at the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts until April 29, 2012

My sculpture was on display in the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts.  I took second place in the 3D art category at my college and won the right to have it put on display in the museum for 10 days.

The view of the front door with all the college's art winners. (The girl who won 1st place in 3D created a handmade ceramic cookie jar; in the shape of a horse, on the left below.)

Here are better views of my sculpture.  When I designed the piece I meant for it to be seen on all sides; including the inside.  I chose to put the cube on it's end so that viewing all the sides and insides of each panel would be easily accomplished by the viewer.  The cube itself is 12"x12", on end it is probably an extra 2.5" tall.  It is made out of various types of wood (balsa being the delicate details),three different colors of wood stain, and is held together by Super Glue.
 

My 2D works did not win any awards, but they did get selected to show in the Fine Arts Gallery - "Student Works" show at the college.  
                                      "Collage" is pencil on 18"x24" paper
                                      "Inara in the Womb (Ultrasound Enlarged)" is 18"x24" cut-paper art.
